The Greek poleis had a lot in common, like the Panhellenic Games, temples, theatres and sculptures. The Olympic Games were held at Olympia and dedicated to Zeus. Greek gods were portrayed as humans, only more beautiful and more athletic, but still with all kinds of human emotions and traits. Today we still associate Greek gods and Greek culture with sports and we have restarted the tradition of the Olympic Games.
